OT: Can an OB/GYN give out anti-anxiety meds??

Yes, she can prescribe the meds, but she might not be willing. I work with neurologists in a hospital setting and they will not prescribe patients medications that are unrelated to the reason they were admitted in most cases. This is most often true when a patient is requesting a new script for a narcotic, an anxiety medication or a sleeping pill, pretty much any controlled medication. They always direct patients to see their primary care physician. This is probably not true in your case, since you have seen your ob/gyn for a long time and she knows you. I would give it a shot. The worst she can do is say no. Oh, if she is an NP and not an MD, it depends on the state laws whether she can prescribe a controlled medication independent of an MD. In Mo, NPs need a doc to sign off on narcotics and other controlled meds. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her, though. You won't be the first, I'm sure :)
